Storm Diana, named by the IPMA Portuguese weather service, is currently threatening the Azores and is due to make itself felt over western parts of the UK on Wednesday.

Dan Harris, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, previously said: "We expect spells of wet and windy weather to sweep across the UK from the south west from Tuesday, although at the moment there is uncertainty around the timing and the focus for the heaviest rain and strong winds by Wednesday as Storm Diana approaches our shores."

The week ahead

Today is expected to remain chilly and bright for most parts, although there will be some showers in the east.

Conditions are expected to start to turn on Tuesday, with wet and windy weather pushing in from the south west.

A separate system to Diana, the front will move eastwards bringing rain and blustery conditions to all parts by the end of the day.

After building in the Atlantic, Storm Diana is due to arrive on Wednesday as a low pressure system tracks to the north of Ireland.
